9:45 a.m. Church School; Inquirers Class; Christmas Pageant Practice
Adults: This Sunday, we will continue a new class taught by Rev. Dana Hughes with a focus on Advent. We are invited to engage in this study of the Gospel of James. This Gospel provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Mary and Joseph and prompts an excavation through the layers of fact, fable and faith. Join us each Sunday in November at 9:45 a.m. in Room 201.
Children: The Pre-K Class will hear Safe at Last and learn how God showed Moses how to bring the people to freedom. Elementary classes will hear Jeremiah's promise to the exiled Israelites that God will bring them home.
